Guidelines for the Use of SDCE

Abstract

This report summarizes lessons learned collected from 13 SDCE applications that Aerospace participated in between 1993 and 1997, and derives guidelines for optimizing the SDCE process. The guidelines include a simplified tailoring process, revised RFP templates, and a core set of SDCE questions. SDCE was designed to be performed in the context of a source selection; the first version of SDCE was issued by AFMC in 1993, at the beginning of Acquisition Reform. The guidelines provided herein emphasize the integration of SDCE with Acquisition Reformed Source Selections. In addition, the report examines how SDCE can be extended for downselect or post-award software risk assessments.
